A famous doctor told how dangerous it is to give up meat

Everyone knows that proper nutrition is one of the key conditions for maintaining health. And often in this context, there are many agitations regarding the rejection of products of animal origin, they say, it is precisely because of them that most of the existing disorders in the body arise.

Can you really “rejuvenate” and extend your healthy life by abandoning your usual diet in favor of vegetarianism? A cardiac surgeon has given the answer to this question.

"Indeed, the lack of proper nutrition is a serious risk factor for health in general and the cardiovascular system in particular. Yes, a person must consume a certain number of calories and burn a certain number of calories, as well as, together with food, constantly provide the body with the substances necessary for its normal vital activity," says the doctor.

According to the processor, the diet should contain a sufficient amount of protein. And vegetarianism in this case is far from the best nutrition option. “The human body has a DEPOT of carbohydrates in the form of glycogen in the liver, there is a depot of fats in the form of subcutaneous adipose tissue, but there is no DEPOT of protein. It is all concentrated in the muscles, and if you do not eat meat and fish, they begin to break down. For the normal functioning of organs and systems, you need to regularly consume nine essential amino acids, which cannot be obtained in sufficient quantities from products of plant origin (soy products, nuts, etc.). In addition, there is such a vitamin - B12, on which, among other things, the normal development of blood depends. A person mainly consumes this substance only from red meat, so you should eat your 100 g of beef a day,” the doctor explained.

What the expert really recommends to give up - sweets in any form (cakes, candies, sweet fruits). "They are not needed even by those who are actively involved in sports. Sucrose, glucose, fructose - all this forces the pancreas to work at a frantic pace and produce a huge amount of insulin, which will definitely not have a positive effect on health either now (leads to a false feeling of hunger, for example), or in the future (in particular, there are hormonal failures, developing obesity, etc.)", concluded the cardiologist.
